Tasting Notes

Delicate florals and mineral purity meet delicious toasted brioche on the palate, due to its time on lees during tirage. The lower dosage elegantly harmonises with vibrant acidity, creating a perfect aperitif-style sparkling wine.

Exceptional Central Otago sparkling wine showcasing mineral purity and elegant brioche complexity—perfect for special occasions.

Reviews

Cameron Douglas MS -- 94+ Points: "Tasting a wine like this over 3 days speaks to the longevity and developing complexity this example holds. Aromas and flavours of white peach and a complex lees autolysis, lemon and mineral, a very light saline quality, and floral seam. Crisp and dry with a fine to moderate mousse, backbone of acidity and flavours that mirror the bouquet. Plush and dry, flavours are persistent and fresh leading to a long finish. Best enjoyed from day of purchase through 2030."
